Brother so proud

After the fifth day of the lunar new year, most people in the village have finished visiting their relatives and friends, because the lively atmosphere of the New Year has finally quieted down a bit.The sky was clear this day, and He An was watering forty or fifty pots of flowers and plants neatly arranged in the yard.

Planted all these years ago, they are now palm-height.

He An carried water in one hand and a ladle in the other, and his movements were steady, but he looked worried and looked at the door of the main room from time to time.

About half an hour later, He Ze came out of the room.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Seeing him, He An immediately stood up, splashing most of the ladle full of water.

He Ze shook his head, "Em hasn't come back yet?"

Last night He Youcai and Mrs. Li had a big fight, even Wangfu barked all night.Mrs. Li left the house early this morning, and only said to go out for a walk, and did not let the two of them follow.

He seemed to smell the strong smell of smoke in the main room again, and he couldn't help frowning.Probably because of the quarrel with Mrs. Li last night, He Youcai seemed to want to make up for the cigarettes he hadn't smoked in the past few days, and he didn't put down his pipe today.

"No, Father, he..."

"Smoking dry tobacco and doing carpentry at the same time, there is really nothing wrong on the surface." He Ze twitched the corner of his mouth, this time he was really hit hard by his father.

Looking up at the scorching sun, he squinted his eyes, then raised his hand to cover his sight, found another ladle, and helped He An water it together.

He discussed with the two elders about the shop, and they have already bought the big one.

Although it is a bit old, but if you change everything that can be replaced, it will be [-]% new at least.What's more, when he went to see it later, in order to get rid of it as soon as possible, the shopkeeper gave him the barren courtyard at the back, which was perfect for storing idle flowers and plants.

When he went to the town two days ago, he invited two people to repair it, and when the mountain flowers were in full bloom, the flower shop would be able to open.

He patted the Clivia in front of him lightly, and a few leaves trembled, splashing a few drops of water on He Ze's trouser legs.

"What's the matter, Dad these days? You made Ah Mu angry yesterday! I haven't seen them arguing like this for a long time." He An came over with a bucket of water, and glanced at the closed door again. .

"It was so loud last night, didn't you hear it?" He Ze raised his eyebrows, "Father feels sorry for Eminem, and is upset."

He An pursed his lips and didn't speak any more.Of course he heard what happened last night, it's just that Dad has been fine for so many years, why can't he get over it now?

"It's okay, I'll treat him with Ah Mu." Thinking of old man He smoothing the log, He Ze's face was thoughtful.

Heart disease needs heart medicine, besides Ah Mu, maybe he has to prescribe another medicine for He Youcai.

He An paused for a moment, the doubts on his face did not fade, and he poured another ladle of water slowly.After the flowers were watered, the bucket of water soon bottomed out.

"When do they bloom?"

"Let's wait another month or two." Yangchun March, flowers are red and willows are green.

He Ze glanced at He An, who moved the potted flowers in the shadows to the wall.The sun is shining, and the water droplets on the plants are shining like pearls.

"Are these potted flowers happy in the sun?"

"Well, Uncle Xu rented Uncle Fourth's house, I asked him about it." He An nodded and pulled out a weed in the pot.

He seems to like these flowers very much, and he took care of them more attentively than He Ze during these days.

Looking at the focused He An in front of him, He Ze didn't know what to think of, and he was silent for a while before saying, "When the shop opens, do you want to be a shopkeeper?"

"what?"

"Did Eminem tell you about your marriage recently?"

"...Brother, why are you asking this?" He An pouted.

There must be such a reaction.

"You are seventeen years old. It is always good to learn how to live and work. Literacy, accounting, even if you want to be a flower farmer, you must have a basic understanding of flowers." He Ze patted He An's head, "Okay Think about what you want to do, my brother will help you, after passing this village, there will be no such shop."

In this world, brothers usually get married at sixteen.When next year, Father He and Li Shi will probably be in a hurry.

He An was stunned for a moment, but before he could speak, there was a sound of hurried footsteps from the direction of the gate of the courtyard, and Li Shi ran in panting heavily, with an urgent and angry voice, "Xiao Ze, something happened, our farmer That Bai Zhi was pulled out!"

? !

what happened? !

……

He Youcai, who knew his son's painstaking efforts for that Baizhi field, also came out of the room when he heard the voice, and followed He Ze and Li Shi all the way.

He An is guarding the door at home.

On the way, He Ze bumped into Liu San and He Dalang who were wandering in the village. After hearing Li's words, they also walked with them filled with righteous indignation.By the time the group arrived at the field, it was almost noon.

This piece of land is close to one mu. When He Ze came to see it yesterday, it was still a field of green seedlings fluttering in the wind. Now there are only a few sparse trees left.Most of the Bai Zhi was pulled out, and it was randomly thrown on the ground and piled up in a layer. The young seedlings became yellow and weary, and the situation was not optimistic.

He Ze's complexion was gloomy, and his eyes were dark and turbulent, as if he was suppressing great anger.

Compared with storytelling and selling flowers, the field of Angelica dahurica in front of him is the only "career" that he has thought about and is looking forward to.

"This... which bastard did such a thing! No, I'll go find the patriarch!" Looking at the Baizhi seedlings all over the ground, He Youcai was so angry that his beard shook, he squeezed the pipe and slammed it on his thigh Go up, a few steps towards the direction you came from.

"Hey--"

"It's okay, Ah Mu, this matter really needs to be resolved by someone from the clan."

For the villagers, crops are life, and destroying other people's crops, isn't it murder for money?This kind of thing has not happened in Hejia Village for more than ten years, and the punishment in the clan is not light.

Reining in his thoughts, He Ze interrupted Li Shi who spoke, then bent down and picked up the Angelica dahurica on the ground, which was already the size of a baby's arm, and lightly pinched a curled leaf at the top, and a slender caterpillar rolled down and fell on the ground. on the ground.

This is... Angelica dahurica infested with worms?

It should be less now, otherwise he wouldn't have missed it.

He Ze picked up a few more Angelica dahurica from the ground. The khaki-yellow roots had intertwined textures and were already a little soft, but there were no insect eyes.

Fortunately.

"No, he's so impatient! Didn't I think that we have to find someone before we go? If we can't find someone now, it's not in vain to go..." Mrs. Li stomped her feet and looked at He Youcai's back , full of hatred for iron but not steel.

"I found someone." He Ze crushed the leaves of Angelica dahurica with his fingertips, and the green juice flowed out, staining his fingertips green. "I know who it is."

"Who is who? Which bitch..." Liu San was clearly out of breath.In his opinion, when his brother was tinkering with this local thing, the family was in trouble, and it must not be easy, which makes people ruin it as soon as they say it...

Damn it, I can't kill him!

Before he finished speaking, Li Shi and He Dalang also focused their attention on He Ze.

"Lin Dalang."

He Ze spat out three words coldly.

The family has decided that after the eighth day, the Lin family will drive away if they don't leave.

Lin Sanlang died, Wu Cui was arrested by the government, and Mrs. Liu lost one eye and left Hejia Village. The family's life would definitely not be easy in the future, and it could be regarded as retribution.He Ze already didn't want to meddle too much, but he never thought that Lin Dalang would come to provoke him once before he left. If that's the case, then he can't be blamed.

"Lin Dalang? Is it him?"

For some unknown reason, Liu San and He Dalang changed their expressions one after another when they heard the name, they looked at each other, and hesitated to speak.

"what happened?"

Liu San didn't answer, but carefully glanced at Mrs. Li.

He Ze understood the concerns of the two of them, and found an excuse to leave with them.On the way, Liu Sancai murmured, "On the second day of junior high school, Dalang and I ran into the boss of the Lin family. He...he seemed to have heard that we were the ones who informed us, and also, your name."

"That's it?" He Ze stopped in his tracks.

"Well, he wanted to quarrel with me, so we beat us up. It's useless to think that he knows, we just reported a letter and didn't do anything, so...so I didn't tell you " Liu San's voice gradually lowered, and his expression was a little regretful.

The Lin family's reputation is already rotten, Lin Da probably thought he was leaving soon, and pulled out Bai Zhi from He Ze's field to vent his anger, but—"He Ze, how do you know it's Lin Da?"

"I saw it," Bai Zhi naturally told him.He Ze's voice was light, "I went out last night and met Lin Da coming down that path."

"Then what should we do now? Let's accompany you to find the patriarch?" He Dalang clenched his fists and frowned slightly.

Just based on what He Ze saw, this matter can't be definitive, but since they are brothers, they have to help Zhuang Shi.

"No, I'll take care of it myself."

He Ze waved his hand, bid farewell to the two and left.

That afternoon, at his insistence, the He family replanted the plucked Angelica dahurica. He An also carried a bucket to water it. Watching the ground under his feet slowly soaked in water, his expression A little uneasy, "Brother, if they can't survive after watering..."

"It's fine if you don't survive, just go and buy new medicines." He Ze didn't seem to care.

Hearing this, He An's brows furrowed even deeper.He Youcai and Li Shi who were next to him also seemed to have forgotten the quarrel last night, the expressions on their faces were exactly the same as He An's, and they looked at He Ze with worried eyes.

He Ze knew that they were afraid that they would be hit, but he didn't explain anymore. It would be good to ease the atmosphere between Father He and Li Shi by this.

The next day, he went to the village to find Xu Qingsheng early in the morning, but was told that Xu Qingsheng had already gone to the clinic in the town.He Ze couldn't help it, so he went to Lin's house again, and took Lin Yu to the town with him.

Since the last New Year's Eve night, Lin Yu hasn't given him a good look.

But... to die under the peony flower is to be a ghost, isn't it?He Ze looked back at Lin Yu with a smile on his face.

"Still laughing! Didn't you say something happened to Baizhi in that field? Why aren't you worried?" On the contrary, he was in a hurry when he heard the news!

Lin Yu glared at He Ze, his eyebrows turned toward the sun, and the smile on He Ze's face grew stronger.

"Don't worry, it's fine. Misfortunes come with blessings, this is really true." If Lin Dazhi didn't pull Bai Zhi, he would not have noticed that Bai Zhi had worms.He can save the plucked Angelica dahurica, but it will be difficult for him to fill in the worm eyes.

He read a lot of books last night, but he couldn't find a specific way to prevent insects. He had to ask Xu Qingsheng about it.

"Don't worry, you have to trust your husband, huh?"

"..."

"drive--"

He Ze whipped the cow's belly, and the big yellow cow lowed twice, and walked faster, "Do you remember the last time we went out together? The carriage we drove back then, how about we buy two horses tomorrow? "

As the fastest means of transportation in ancient times, He Ze has a great interest in horses.Only driving the carriage for such a long time last time was not enough fun.

Lin Yu was not surprised at the speed at which He Ze changed the subject, and chatted with him without saying a word.When the two arrived at Xu Qingsheng's clinic together, the hour had just passed.

Xu Qingsheng's clinic is not big, and it is far away from the busy city, but there are people coming and going, and it doesn't look lonely at all.

Thinking about it, his medical skills are good enough. In addition, Xu Qingsheng will charge more than half of the consultation fee when he comes to see a doctor who is really difficult. Also had a reputation.

After all, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys.

But also because of this, even though he has been practicing medicine for many years, Xu Qingsheng still only guards such a small clinic, and he may not have much savings.
